.Having thus described my invention, what I claima's new, and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent is: I x [1. A roller type closure device comprising a frame'adapted to be inserted in a window, said frame having side members, a top member and said side member base chambers and having its,

connecting yoke disposed in said bottom member base chamber, and hooks secured to the sidev edges of said screen for sliding on said rod legs forguidings'aid screen as it is rolled'and unrolled, -2-.. -A roller type closure device comprising a frame adapted to be inserted in a window, said frame having side members, a top member and a bottom member, said sidemembers being channel-shaped in cross section with a widebase chamber. and with their open sides opposed, said 5 bottommember being channel shaped in cross section .with a wide base chamber and with its open side facing upwardly, said top member being vertically slotted between said side members,

. frame adapted to be inserted in a window, said frame having side members, a top member and a=bottom member,said side membersbeing channel-shaped in cross section with a wide base chamber and with their open sides opposed, said .bottom' member being channel-shaped in cross side member base chambers and having its con; necting yoke disposed in said bottom member,

base chamber, and hooks secured to the side ed es of said screen for slidingon said, rod legs fo'r'guiding said screen it is rolled and unrolled,

each of saidhooks having a straight shank and a semi-circular head, said bottom member having an opening at one side thereof, and said connecting yoke having a bent-u portion'opposite said opening, and a hook secured to the bottom edge of said screen for coacting with said bent-u portion for holding said 'scre'enin unrolled position. 7 DA ID QRQQN 'Q REFERENCES CITED The following references are of record in the file'of this patent: I
